Lyrics

Japanese	Romaji	English
また繰り返している	mata kurikaeshite iru	It's repeating again, this
Bad Day
貴方の言う正常(フツウ)が知りたくて	anata no iu futsuu ga shiritakute	I want to know about this thing you call "normal,"
メイクを取って	meiku o totte	So I take off my makeup,
取り繕って	toritsukurotte	Keep up my appearances,
脊髄で返す言葉は「だって」	sekizui de kaesu kotoba wa "datte"	And the response from my spinal cord is, "After all..."
だって	datte	After all...
駆け引きなんて	kakehiki nante	Attempting to bargain
できないよって	dekinai yo tte	Even though you can't
口を開けばほら自分勝手	kuchi o hirakeba hora jibungatte	If you open your mouth, look, you're selfish
ピエロになって	piero ni natte	Become a clown,
奴隷になって	dorei ni natte	Become a slave,
黙り込んでしまえば楽だって	damarikonde shimaeba raku da tte	Zip your lips and it'll become much simpler.
生まれてから消えるまで	umarete kara kieru made	From birth to death,
この箱の中にいて	kono hako no naka ni ite	I'm staying inside this box,
美しく忌々しい	utsukushiku imaimashii	And a beautiful yet vexing
讃美歌が流れてる	sanbika ga nagareteru	Hymn can be heard.
狂ってる 全部	kurutteru zenbu	I'm going mad from everything,
ぜんぶぜんぶぜんぶぜんぶ	zenbu zenbu zenbu zenbu	All of it, all of it, all of it, all of it.
貴方はLiteな怠惰の解をまた	anata wa Lite na taida no kai o mata	Again, you with your solution to a lite laziness,
常識(カミサマ)に縋っていた	kamisama ni sugatte ita	I clung to the god known as "common sense."
わかってる 全部	wakatteru zenbu	I understand everything,
ぜんぶぜんぶぜんぶぜんぶ	zenbu zenbu zenbu zenbu	All of it, all of it, all of it, all of it.
報われないなら最期に解の側(ヨコ)	mukuwarenai nara saigo ni kai no yoko	If I won't be rewarded, then in the end I'll be beside the solution
I を灯してたいと願ったのさ	I o tomoshitetai to negatta no sa	and wished to light myself up.
どうりでうまくいかないワケだ	douri de umaku ikanai wake da	It's no wonder why it doesn't work
裸足のままのシンデレラ	hadashi no mama no shinderera	A Cinderella that's still barefoot
足りない頭で考えた	tarinai atama de kangaeta	Thinks with a dim wit
理想や希望で	risou ya kibou de	of her ideals and her hopes.
ありのままに生きてくのは	arinomama ni ikiteku no wa	Just as it is, living like this
僕には難しくて	boku ni wa muzukashikute	Is too hard for me,
儚くて禍々しい	hakanakute magamagashii	So surrounded by fleeting and ominous
ノイズの中で眠る	noizu no naka de nemuru	noises I sleep.
誰も知らない街	dare mo shiranai machi	On a street no one knows,
孤独と星空	kodoku to hoshizora	Wrapped by loneliness and the starry sky,
無くしたピースを探す	nakushita piisu o sagasu	I search for my missing piece,
子供みたいに泣いて	kodomo mitai ni naite	Crying like a child.
右に習って 黒く滲んで	migi ni naratte kuroku nijinde	Following the lead, bleeding black
同じ器の中に留まって	onaji utsuwa no naka ni todomatte	Being confined inside the same vessel,
このままずっと 死ぬまでずっと	kono mama zutto shinu made zutto	Forever like this, forever until I die,
気づかないフリはいやだよ	kizukanai furi wa iya da yo	I don't want to keep pretending to not notice.
だって	datte	After all,
狂ってる 全部	kurutteru zenbu	I'm going mad from everything,
ぜんぶぜんぶぜんぶぜんぶ	zenbu zenbu zenbu zenbu	All of it, all of it, all of it, all of it.
貴方はLiteな怠惰の解をまた	anata wa Lite na taida no kai o mata	Again, you told me the solution to a lite laziness,
常識(カミサマ)に縋っていた	kamisama ni sugatte ita	And I clung to that god known as "common sense."
わかってる 全部	wakatteru zenbu	I understand everything,
ぜんぶぜんぶぜんぶぜんぶ	zenbu zenbu zenbu zenbu	All of it, all of it, all of it, all of it.
報われないなら最期に解の側(ヨコ)	mukuwarenai nara saigo ni kai no yoko	If I won't be rewarded, then in the end I'll be beside the solution
I を灯してたいと願ったのさ	I o tomoshitetai to negatta no sa	and wished to light myself up.
I を灯してたいと願ったのさ	I o tomoshitetai to negatta no sa	and wished to light myself up.
